Careers

Account Executive

Summary

Grunt is an Oslo-based technology company established in 2015 by co-founders with solid consulting, finance, and technology expertise. Our mission? To help professionals create efficient, automated, and beautiful presentations.

Mads, our CEO, a former consultant at BCG, and Alexander, our CRO, a former Partner at investment bank ABG Sundal Collier, worked daily with Excel and PowerPoint, and found that they were wasting copious amounts of time copy-pasting data from their spreadsheets into PowerPoint and re-creating templates instead of focusing on the story in their presentation. They knew there was a better way! As luck would have it, both Mads and Alexander are computer engineers and they decided to solve the problem. In 2021 we launched our sales team and we are now looking for our next Account Executives to help us scale our business!
